Gunna’s Afrobeats Performance Has Fans In Love: Twitter Reacts

Gunna’s comeback this year has been a wild ride to witness, as it seems the narrative has shifted considerably. There’s still a lot of conversation around his alleged “snitching” in the YSL RICO case, but no one can longer deny that his career hasn’t suffered one bit from it. Moreover, the College Park rapper recently performed at two massive shows, one in New York and another in Los Angeles, the latter of which took place on Thursday (September 28). A big part of this renaissance now was revealed at this show, as he brought out Afrobeats artist Victor Thompson for the concert. They performed his hit “This Year” together, and that’s when Wunna unveiled his secret weapon.

Turns out that he’s remixing “This Year,” and he gave fans a preview of what to expect from it soon. All in all, reactions to Gunna’s performance online were overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the vocal efforts and chemistry between these artists. Still, it doesn’t mean that he completely switched lanes, as his auto-tuned tone and croon remains unmistakeable. The 30-year-old will likely continue to shape his career out from here, as this feels like a second wind.

Of course, it’s not like he completely fell off before this, as he remained a popular and acclaimed MC in the scene. However, with the Drip Season icon’s attachment to the YSL trial behind him, he had a lot of allegations and attitudes to combat. That case is still ongoing, and looks no closer to its resolution than it was in December when he took a plea deal. Regardless, Gunna’s also done his part to shout out Young Thug and continue to advocate for his collective despite his separation.

Twitter Reactions To The Upcoming “This Year” Remix

Meanwhile, his new album a Gift & a Curse is still spinning, but some fans thought it was too musically one-noted. Now that we know he can reach into his Afrobeats bag, this could mark the beginning of a more versatile phase of his career. No matter what direction it goes in, we’ll be here to witness it. For more news and the latest updates on Gunna, log back into HNHH.

Maino & Lil Duval Defend Brittany Renner’s Body Count

Brittany Renner’s 35-person body count shocked Shannon Sharpe in a recent interview, and prompted a lot of thirsty or outraged reactions online. Many just lusted after her, while others criticized her apparent promiscuity and said this shouldn’t be a championed trait. Regardless of where you fall on that spectrum, it’s fair to say that the “Basketball Wives” star’s choices don’t warrant attacks on her. Moreover, Lil Duval and Maino are the latest celebrities to come to her defense online. Their remarks basically blast people overreacting to this number and differentiated flings from long-run relationships.

“If y’all think having sex with 35 people is a lot y’all gon swear I’m suppose to be dead from a disease [crying-laughing emojis],” Lil Duval tweeted on Thursday afternoon (September 28). That’s a similar sentiment to what Plies had to say about Brittany Renner. “35 Ain’t That Many!!” the rapper expressed on Twitter. “That’s Like $35 Worth Of Gas Bih!! That’s Just A 1/4 Tank Of Gas!!!! Shiiiddddd U Got A lot Left!!!!!! 35 That’s A In The Middle Number!! That Like Being 35 Years Old! U In Your Prime Bih!!! [laughing emojis].”

Lil Duval Speaks On Brittany Renner’s Relationship History

On the other hand, Maino told TMZ that the slut-shaming the 31-year-old has faced is completely unreasonable. In fact, the hip-hop artist and media personality took advantage of the opportunity to shoot his shot and say he’s down to be number 36. Player moves aside, though, he said that people criticizing Brittany Renner are just insecure about their own sexuality and don’t know how to put marriage and one-time things around. That being said, she did express frustration with half her relationship history being with one-night stands, so there’s understandably more complex emotions at play around this from the Mississippi native.

Maino’s Thoughts

Meanwhile, we’re sure that plenty more people will react to all this and give their take. Hopefully, once the hype dies down a little bit, we can listen to what Renner’s actually saying and not just focus on a number. After all, there’s a whole interview to break down with Sharpe here, and a body count defines no one. For more news and updates on Brittany Renner, Lil Duval, and Maino, come back to HNHH.

Plies vocalized his adoration for Britney Spears during a post on social media, over the weekend, comparing the iconic singer to Beyonce. He joked that he’s “drunk in love” with the pop star, while referencing Beyonce’s 2013 song of the same name.

“This My Beyonce U My Beyonce!!!!! I’m Drunk In Love Bih!!!!!” Plies captioned the video, in which he reiterates similar praise for the iconic singer. In response to the ecstatic energy, one fan replied: “Britney needs to find her a man that loves her this much.” Another added: “Every Leo needs a partner’s energy to be like plies with Britney.”

It’s not the first time Plies has expressed his attraction to Britney Spears. Back in August, he posted a clip of himself singing along to her 1998 breakout hit “…Baby One More Time.” “Oh, baby, baby! How was I supposed to know, baby?! Show me how you want it to be, baby!” he sang to Spears. “I know it’s killing me, baby!” Check out the latest attempt Plies has made at showing affection to Spears below.

Plies Shows Love To Britney Spears

Plies’ posts come after Sam Asghari filed for divorce from Britney Spears in August 2023. The two had been married since June of last year. During the separation, Asghari cited irreconcilable differences. Afterward, Spears admitted on social media that their relationship wasn’t as good as it seemed on Instagram. “I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that!!! I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel but some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses!!!” she admitted.

Drake Fans In Shambles After Waking Up Without “For All The Dogs”

Drake fans have been at the edge of their seats awaiting his eighth studio album, For All The Dogs. Marking his fourth album in two years, the Canadian rapper initially announced the project as a companion piece to his book, Titles Ruin Everything. In the months that followed, he hinted that it would arrive before the summer ends. In late July, he even suggested that the album would arrive on August 11th. However, the Boy never followed up with a confirmation and fans have speculated each week that the album would eventually drop on Friday.

It felt like a promising week for Drake to release his next album. He not only released the cover art for the project, courtesy of Adonis, but fans also began putting the pieces together. International Dog Day lands on Aug 26th, making the 25th a prime day for the Toronto MC to unveil his next album. However, it was a tweet from Amazon Music’s Twitter account that fanned the flames of anticipation. “Drizzy’s son has a future as a cover artist. New @drake august 25th!!” A since-deleted tweet from their account read. Billboard similarly claimed that Drake’s album would be dropping on the 25th, although they’ve since corrected their claims.

Drake Doesn’t Drop & Fans Are P*ssed

Needless to say, there’s a group of individuals that aren’t necessarily pleased that Drake didn’t actually release the album. The rapper never confirmed that the album would drop. Still, all signs pointed to an August 25th release date. However, at a recent concert, Drake also suggested that the album would arrive before his birthday in October, which seemed to mean that we might not receive the album for a few more weeks. 

At this point, there’s still limited information on the album available but Drizzy’s shared a few clues in recent weeks. There has been speculation that J. Cole would appear on the tracklist after the Fayetteville native joined Drake to perform in Montreal, Quebec last month. Drake also confirmed that Nicki Minaj and Bad Bunny would appear on the project

Gucci Mane’s New 1017 Signee Draws Amused Reactions From Fans

Gucci Mane is quite the visionary, not just in a musical sense, but as a label manager and talent-seeker in his own right. However, not all of his ideas and scouting gets excited reactions on social media; sometimes, people laugh at him seemingly missing the mark. Still, you never know the weight that an artist holds, so perhaps it’s too early to tell if his latest 1017 Records signee will break through. Moreover, Tennessee rapper Brezden is Guwop’s latest protégé, as the legendary trap MC announced on Tuesday (August 22). In a clip, he christens the up-and-comer with a 1017 chain.

“Y’all welcome my new artist @brezdn to #TheNew1017 this MF so hard !!!!!!!” Gucci Mane wrote in his caption. “Y’all go follow him!! Click link in bio to hear his new song WHITE FERRARI.” “Shoutout to @laflare1017 for this life changing opportunity,” Brezden added in his repost of the video on social media. “It’s time to take over.” Given the type of music he makes and, frankly, his looks, the new artist got a lot of comparisons to Jack Harlow and was nicknamed “Kodak White” on social media.

“Stole this man swag,” one user wrote with a GIF of Napoleon Dynamite. “Why do white rappers these days sound like they wanna be black? Its false but I guess Gucci Mane is cool with that,” another wrote more seriously. Still, for as many jokes as people made about him, there were plenty of supporters looking forward to more from Brezden. “Idk he kinda slid on this one,” one user commented on Twitter, with another adding “Ngl I thought he was wack until I heard that You are an L like a website(URL) that was a [fire] bar.” Check out more reactions under the music video link below.

Brezden’s “White Ferrari”

Meanwhile, the Alabama-born label boss isn’t putting all his eggs in the Brezden basket this week. On Friday (August 25), he and J. Cole are teaming up with Mike WiLL Made-It for the single “There I Go,” which has a lot of hype behind it for its star power. In any case, we look forward to seeing what Brezden can do on a song with Guwop, and for him to carve out his own lane. For more news and the latest updates on Gucci Mane, check back in with HNHH.

Fans React To Quavo’s “Rocket Power”: The Good, The Bad & The Beautiful

Quavo’s Rocket Power is finally out, and fans have wasted no time discussing it in social media circles. Given that it’s a tribute album to his late rap partner Takeoff, there’s a lot to digest here and it’s not the easiest listen. Still, it seems like people have an array of opinions on it online, most of them being positive celebrations of not just the late Migo, but of Quavo’s own growth and talent as an artist. Fans already have some of their favorite tracks set, and the reception indicates that it’s quite a balanced and engaging listen regardless of which angle you see it through. With features from the likes of Young Thug, Future, and Takeoff himself, there’s a lot of star power and bangers to be found here, as well as more emotive cuts.

“My favorite tracks: ‘patty cake’, ‘hold me’, ‘Fueled up’,” one fan wrote on Twitter. “You really feel the emotion in these tracks, and it’s good to get more songs featured with takeoff in it. Beautiful tribute to takeoff.” Another added “Easily one of my favorite albums this year. Quavo really did his thing and made a beautiful album.”

Quavo’s New Album Gets Praised

“Easily the best album dropped this year in the rap space,” an impassioned fan wrote of Quavo’s latest. “I love migos have for a while so I’m trying to not sound bias but this genuinely is one of the best productions any of them have had as a group or solo artist. You can tell he took his time and spoke his mind. Emotional.” However, someone responded with some pushback. “Quavo is not versatile enough for this album to be better than Utopia but its overall a solid album with some bangers, just kind of get artist fatigue from the lack of vocal differences by the end of the track list.” Check out more reactions below.

More Rocket Power Takes

Meanwhile, the Georgia trap pioneer continually finds ways to honor Takeoff amid this album’s hype and great reception. For example, he recently celebrated their collab album, Only Built For Infinity Links, reaching gold certification by the RIAA. Let us know what you think of Rocket Power in the comments down below.

The Weeknd’s Bizarre Coffee Promo Has Fans Scratching Their Heads

When you think of The Weeknd, you think of his vocal abilities, his creative discography, his gargantuan shows, and probably like two hundred other things before you think of coffee. The Canadian superstar baffled many of his fans on Instagram when he promoted Samra Origins Craft Instant Coffee on his page. Moreover, it’s a video with nine different panels à la “The Brady Bunch” with some pouring, cups, spoons, and packaging. Regardless of how good or not the brand is, many wondered why Abel Tesfaye is now a coffee spokesperson. It’s a good hustle, though, and he seems like the kind of person who wouldn’t team up for something as random as this if he didn’t have good reason to.

“Samra Origins Craft Instant Coffee is more than just instant coffee,” The Weeknd captioned his post. “It’s a chance to awaken creativity. It offers high-quality, exceptional flavor with ease, giving you the freedom to venture into a world of coffee drinks, cocktails, and culinary. Use Craft Instant Coffee as an elevated ingredient and begin exploring the possibilities.” If that’s what’s fueled amazing projects like After Hours and House Of Balloons, I’ll take five extra-large boxes.

The Weeknd Confuses Fans With His Coffee Promo

Of course, it’s not like the XO icon is a stranger to extracurricular endeavors and promotions outside of his music. In fact, we probably got the biggest (and most hated on) example of that this year with his HBO series “The Idol.” Nevertheless, fans were puzzled at this new move. “Please give a round of applause to the social media agency that can’t plan,” one fan commented cruelly. “Why u randomly promoting coffee bro,” someone added, with another clapping back with “You know nothing about coffee if you promoting instant coffee!”

Meanwhile, a lot of people also theorized that someone could’ve hacked his account, and the jury’s out on whether that would be funnier than if he meant it. Still, he would likely take it in stride, especially if he likes a good cup of Joe. After all, it’s not like he would respond to people who don’t like his show– I mean, coffee… right? Jokes aside, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on The Weeknd.

Iggy Azalea’s Full Letter To Tory Lanez Gets Wild Reactions On Twitter

Tory Lanez’s sentencing is sweeping pretty much every media corner right now, and Iggy Azalea is, oddly enough, at the forefront. Moreover, social media users had a field day when the judge in Lanez’s case revealed that the Australian rapper and singer sent him a letter in support of him, one of over 70 that came in. Later on, she denied supporting him explicitly, and simply said that she was asked to give her honest opinion on the matter. However, after journalist Meghann Cuniff published the entire letter online, people blasted Azalea for her apparent lies and statements.

“I would not write to you on behalf of an abuser,” Iggy Azalea said of Tory Lanez in the letter. “I refuse to believe that he would do anything in malice especially to a woman. He said this is an opportunity to humble himself and soften his heart- ironic to hear one of the kindest people I know strive to become even kinder. I’m not shocked- Its who he is. Watering and shining light on others until something beautiful grows. Daystar Peterson is not the pest you’ve heard about, he’s a gardener. He helps others bloom.”

Iggy Azalea’s Letter To Tory Lanez

Of course, a lot of people clowned the flowery and generous portrayal of the Canadian artist. However, a more salient point was that Iggy Azalea did seem quite supportive of him, even as she claimed that she hadn’t spoken to him in a long time. From what this letter indicated, the 33-year-old reached out to him around February, and many took issue with her trying to cover that part up. Still, it’s easy to put her statements out of context. Whether she directly addressed the Megan Thee Stallion situation or not, her attempt to exalt Tory Lanez makes it hard to see it as anything other than full support.

Meanwhile, a lot of people also took issue with Iggy’s comments given that she alleged mistreatment at the hands of her former partner Playboi Carti. As such, many called her hypocritical for this support. Amid all those criticisms, though, this letter in full only made people clown her even more. Check out some reactions to the letter down below.

Twitter Reacts To The Letter

Regardless of this situation, this sentence already changed significantly. It’s probably going to keep doing so, and the discourse surrounding it will likely permeate for a long time. After all, this letter just added another element to an already wild, contentious, and scandalous trial. For more news and the latest updates on Iggy Azalea and Tory Lanez, check back in with HNHH.

Social Media Is Shocked By Lil Baby’s New Ink

A clip of Lil Baby signing a contract with Rylo Rodriguez hit the internet earlier this week, and it’s managed to get social media users talking. Though one may expect that the chatter surrounds their new deal, users are weighing in for a different reason. In the clip, Lil Baby appears to have gotten some new ink. He looks to have tattoos on both of his arms now, which is confusing to fans. The Atlanta-born rapper had previously claimed that he never wanted to get tattoos, but it seems like he’s had a change of heart. Though it’s tough to determine what exactly the tattoos say, they’re pretty large and in fairly obvious locations.

In multiple previous interviews, Lil Baby has claimed that he doesn’t want to get tattoos. His reasoning surrounded the way he would be perceived by others, as he feared being looked at as a “thug.” He said that he didn’t want to be looked down upon when he made serious money and wanted to do something meaningful with it.

Users Lose It Over Lil Baby’s Tattoos

“I don’t want no tattoos,” he said in an interview with Big Boy in 2020. “I know i’m going to have something to do when I get older–with my money–and I don’t want to be  like a thug. Even though I was a thug, I don’t want people to look at me like a thug.. People with tattoos–to me you look like a thug.

Though some fans claim that Lil Baby’s ink may be fake, several others have been sharing their feelings on social media as if they’re real. While many are somewhat disappointed that Lil Baby could have gone back on his claims, various users are in support of his decision. Others are somewhere in the middle, but still shocked that he apparently switched up. Check out some social media users’ reactions below.

Playboi Carti’s Absence On Lil Uzi Vert’s “Pink Tape” Gets Fans Down Bad On Twitter

Pink Tape is finally here, and fan consensus indicates that Lil Uzi Vert did not disappoint with this long-awaited release. However, there is one aspect of the album that disappointed fans and has them once again clamoring for online: where in the world is Playboi Carti? In the lead up to this album, Uzi teased an appearance time and time again, whether when they spoke on having the features that everyone wants or expects or by shouting Carti out on social media and previewed tracks. Still, the tracklist finally arrived, and the Whole Lotta Red star was nowhere to be seen. That being said, we still got a taste of what almost happened between them.

Moreover, when Lil Uzi Vert’s YouTube page posted the track “Patience” with Don Toliver, it allegedly contained a version with Playboi Carti and not the officially released version. Though those responsible fixed that quick, fans still clamored for the song to appear on a deluxe version in the reply section. In addition, a collab track called “Rich A** Bastard” also surfaced online that they apparently scrapped for Pink Tape. As such, even though fans lost hope when they saw the tracklist, there’s still a chance another team-up is around the corner.

Twitter Reacts To Playboi Carti Not Being On Pink Tape

If you’re curious to hear what could’ve been (or still could be), one user replied to the tweet above with a link to the leak. Elsewhere on Twitter, fans lamented the lack of Playboi Carti on Pink Tape with reaction videos, GIFs, memes, and a whole lot more. “Surely yeat and playboi carti are hidden features on pink tape right??” one fan wrote. Their tweet contained a GIF that sums up exactly how many die-hards feel right now: Spongebob clutching his pencil nervously like someone dying of hunger staring at a hamburger.

Meanwhile, there are certainly other features on Pink Tape that stole the show. For example, JT and Nicki Minaj recently went back and forth on Twitter talking about the latter’s verse on “Endless Fashion.” Apparently Nicki handed her verse in quickly after a long day’s work, and it resulted in a lot of standout lines. Hopefully Carti’s working hard in the studio to get his next verse in for Uzi, too. Regardless, check out more fan reactions below and stay up to date on HNHH for the latest on Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert.
